Move away (migrate) from org.gnome.Platform

[lealceldeiro]

I have installed OTPClient through flatpak.

When my flatpak packages are updated (flatpak update) I get the following message:

Looking for updates…
Info: (pinned) org.gnome.Platform.Locale//42 is end-of-life, with reason:
   The GNOME 42 runtime is no longer supported as of March 21, 2023. Please ask your application developer to migrate to a supported platform.
Info: (pinned) org.freedesktop.Platform.VAAPI.Intel//20.08 is end-of-life, with reason:
   org.freedesktop.Platform 20.08 is no longer receiving fixes and security updates. Please update to a supported runtime version.
Info: (pinned) org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default//20.08 is end-of-life, with reason:
   org.freedesktop.Platform 20.08 is no longer receiving fixes and security updates. Please update to a supported runtime version.
Nothing to do.

Now, when I check which applications depend on org.gnome.Platform (flatpak list --app --app-runtime=org.gnome.Platform), I get:

Name              Application ID                             Version        Branch        Installation
OTPClient         com.github.paolostivanin.OTPClient         3.1.9          stable        system

So, can this migration be done?

Is it a high level of effort to do it?

FWIW, I just uninstalled the flatpak version and installed it from the official repo 🎉

It's ok to migrate to gnome 44. The flatpak manifest specified gnome 44, so no issue there :) I'm gonna update it to 45 now that I remember.
